199: Monster King Advanced

Rumble!

It was daytime, and with a violent thunderclap, the entire sky became even brighter.

A Yao Beast breaking through to the Fourth Stage, equivalent to a human Cultivator breaking through from Core Formation to Nascent Soul, the power of the Lightning Tribulation was terrifying, capable of deterring living beings within a radius of several hundred miles.

All Cultivators in Lingzhou with Core Formation Stage cultivation and above could sense a Yao King advancing, while Cultivators near the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, regardless of their cultivation level, could sense it. They could even clearly see a golden Lightning Tribulation descending from the Void Realm, striking straight towards a certain place in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Many of them showed envious expressions, and some even said:

"A Yao King advancing! If it successfully reaches the Fourth Stage, it will be in the Yao Emperor Realm. If only I could tame such a Yao Beast as a pet!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding noisy crowd immediately quieted down a bit.

After a long while, someone finally spoke up to explain: "There are existences in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range that can instantly kill Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators. Ordinary people can't get in, let alone subdue a Yao King-level Yao Beast.

It is said that there is a Beast King Mountain in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and this newly advanced Yao Emperor should be from Beast King Mountain."

Someone else asked curiously, "Then why did it choose to Breakthrough in a place so close to human Cultivators?"

"Of course, it's because the Feng Shui there is good!"

"What kind of rubbish Feng Shui? It's nothing more than borrowing the power of heaven and earth to reduce the power of the heavenly lightning. A Yao Beast that knows how to choose terrain for Undergoing Tribulation must have been guided by the one on Beast King Mountain, because ordinary Yao Kings don't understand these things at all."

Those who were discussing continued to discuss, while more people chose to watch quietly. After all, a Yao Emperor Undergoing Tribulation was very rare to encounter. Although humans and Yao Beasts were different, the method of Undergoing Tribulation was not much different from human Cultivators, and watching it could reduce the difficulty of their own future Undergoing Tribulation.

On the hillock.

The Earth Spirit Ape stared at the heavenly lightning descending from the Void Realm, a worried look in its eyes. It then pulled out a Lightning Shield from under its bottom and threw it towards the Void Realm. For good measure, it quickly grabbed two more Lightning Shields and held them in its hands.

The golden Lightning Tribulation was incredibly powerful, as thick as an adult's thigh, and could easily tear through the Void Realm just by sliding through it.

The Lightning Shield thrown by the Earth Spirit Ape continuously expanded in the Void Realm. When it encountered the Lightning Tribulation, the entire Lightning Shield glowed with golden light.

Crack!

After a crisp sound, the Lightning Shield was instantly shattered into pieces, and the power of that Lightning Tribulation only decreased by about one-third.

"#%#￥%"

The Earth Spirit Ape opened its mouth and cursed a string of obscenities in beast language, then immediately threw out another Lightning Shield from its hand.

Thunder rumbled continuously in the Void Realm. The Earth Spirit Ape's eyes also showed a look of recollection and regret. It couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, if only Master were here, he would always give me all sorts of good things. Without Master, I can only use a pile of broken Lightning Shields now!"

The resentment in the Earth Spirit Ape's eyes grew stronger and stronger, but its hands were busy, rapidly throwing Lightning Shields into the Void Realm.

When only five or six Lightning Shields were left, it grabbed the iron rod in front of it, preparing to resist the Lightning Tribulation...

On the other side.

Qin Feng and Lu Xiuwen still chose to travel on foot through the mountains.

It wasn't that doing so would be faster; it was just that Qin Feng felt a sense of truly being alive when traversing through the dense forest.

It was just like when he worked as a handyman in the Pill Refining Room in Qinghe Ward, where he could truly feel his body was alive.

If one always lived a life of Cultivation detached from the mundane world, one would only feel like a machine that Cultivated for the sake of Cultivating.

Crunch, crunch!

The two walked one after another, the dry leaves in the forest crunching underfoot.

Birds chirped occasionally in the trees, and venomous snakes often lay in ambush in the messy undergrowth to ambush small beasts. Coupled with the scorching June sun, even as Cultivators, both couldn't help but sweat profusely.

After passing a cool gully, they encountered another difficult mountain to climb. Lu Xiuwen's face contorted in pain as he lay straight down on a nearby stone slab, saying to Qin Feng in a voice of agony:

"Brother, we've been traveling on dry land for three full days. Why don't we just fly? I'm almost forgetting that I'm a Cultivator!"

"..."

Qin Feng, walking ahead, turned his head and gave the fellow a speechless look.

Lu Xiuwen had two Shen Xing Talismans, one Lightness Talisman, and two green speed-increasing Talismans stuck on him.

With so many things assisting him, let alone traveling, even if he jumped off a random cliff, he wouldn't die. How could he be tired?

Qin Feng frowned and didn't speak. Lu Xiuwen continued to lie on the stone slab, throwing a tantrum. After a moment, he suddenly got up, a very sinister expression on his face: "Hehehe, I occupy this body, and you've finally discovered me, haven't you? Actually, I'm not Lu Xiuwen at all!"

Slap!

A crisp slap echoed.

Lu Xiuwen froze for a moment, the sinister look in his eyes growing even stronger, and at the same time, a surge of malevolence erupted from his body: "You actually dare to hit me? Then I can only perish with this body..."

Slap!

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Feng slapped him again. At this moment, both of Lu Xiuwen's cheeks bore faint slap marks.

Seeing Qin Feng raise his hand again, preparing to slap him, Lu Xiuwen immediately panicked. He quickly covered his head with both hands and squatted on the ground, wailing, "Brother, stop hitting me, I was wrong!"

"Wrong about what?"

"I shouldn't have lied to you. Actually, I just simply didn't want to walk anymore."

"Then why did you pretend to be possessed?"

"I planned to pretend to be possessed and then fight you. Finally, I'd pretend I couldn't win and then quickly fly towards Lingzhou."

"..." Qin Feng's face showed disdain, and he directly exposed his little trick, saying, "Didn't expect me to act too fast and not give you a chance to make a move, did you?"

"Hehe."

Lu Xiuwen grinned and said nothing more, only secretly began to guard against Qin Feng's slaps. After all, those two slaps just now were too fast, giving no one any chance to react!

"Let's go. If you want to go to Lingzhou, hurry up."

Qin Feng took out the Thousand Mile Shuttle and placed it on the ground. His aura became increasingly calm and steady, forming two extremes with the impatient Lu Xiuwen.

One extremely irritable.

One extremely calm.

Lu Xiuwen looked at Qin Feng in surprise, then, without thinking twice, jumped onto the Thousand Mile Shuttle, acting as if he wouldn't get off even if he was beaten to death.

Qin Feng shook his head helplessly, then controlled the Thousand Mile Shuttle to quickly approach Lingzhou.

At that moment, Qin Feng had realized the key to his Breakthrough in his Bottleneck: it was a matter of mindset!

If he blindly pursued speed, he probably wouldn't be able to touch the threshold of Nascent Soul in his entire life.

But Lu Xiuwen's eagerness for quick success just now, compared to his own patient attitude towards traveling, was a very good example.

If one blindly pursues speed, one cannot discover anything along the way. But if one's mindset is stable, not only can one enjoy the fun of Cultivating, but one can also clearly perceive everything encountered, and from it, comprehend some humanistic insights.

Boom!

In the Void Realm.

Qin Feng, who was controlling the Thousand Mile Shuttle, suddenly felt a sound in his head, as if he had a sudden enlightenment, and the entire world in front of him was renewed!
